It's pretty much all your're going to get at those pay scales.
Am not saying all TSA agents/guards have issues, am not saying that at all; but there does seem to be a surplus of two rent-a-cop groups. Those on an ego trip because they have a *badge*, and others just there for a paycheck. Both seem to come from backgrounds with dubious experience for the job, but again things are what they are.
Silly joke. Sophomoric and silly, but it probably should have been something where the guy laughed it off with the security guard, and he zings her a bit too, both people laugh and move on. Instead, he reports her because culturally speaking, you can't joke like that with a lot of white people. At least he referenced general white people fragility in his explanation for why he reported her.
Wow....what you posted is a perfect example of a "very specific opinion." I'm trying to wrap my head around how you came to all these definitive conclusions based on this story.
First, this incident had nothing to do with race and no I'm not white. Second, a sense of humor is highly subjective, open to interpretation and individualized. So maybe you would "laugh with this girl and zing at her" but that doesn't mean others would. I would be highly offended if I was handed a note like that. There is a reason that respect and civility is expected at work. Those two qualities transcend race, culture and are for the most part well defined. Therefore, if you practice those two things at work you will never get in trouble. But if you practice your personal sense of humor at work you have a chance of ending up like this stupid little girl who thought she was being "funny" with her silly note.

Didn't say the sort of insults were new, just source of idiot worker's comments.
Wherever you come into contact with these people they're always "rapping" or repeating words from rap music like a loop stuck in their brains.
If first note had been written grammatically correct, and second didn't lift word for word lyrics to a rap song I'd put it down to just simple ignorant behavior. But clearly this former rent-a-cop TSA agent was influenced.
"These people"? "Influenced"? WOW...
People sure are brave on the Internet. Try saying that to someone's face and see how far it gets you.

Yes yes. We're just too sensitive. THAT'S the problem. Not that a woman thought it would be funny to pass out random insults. She acted like a kindergardner.
